Hard hats were swapped for capes as a local home builder led a campus of crusaders on a heroic effort for the children’s treatment and rehabilitation centre.
Marz Homes, a local construction stalwart since 1968, joined the Superhero Run this year as a major sponsor with the hope of giving back to the communities where they build their houses.
“At Marz Homes, we have always strived to build not only homes for families but communities for those families to live and thrive in,” said Dani Gabriele, Project Manager, Marz Homes.
This past Saturday, staff from the homebuilder traded their construction gear for their favorite superhero costumes as they gathered at Brock University to support the worthy cause.
The annual fun run drew in nearly 600 people, including more than 400 participants, hundreds of volunteers, vendors, and sponsors.
Participants engaged in various superhero-themed activities, such as archery, axe-throwing, cone smashing and box destruction.
This year’s event raised $112,610, the largest in the Centre’s history.
